Fork to background after ENABLED?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently hostapd is forked to background once the interface state is
changed from the UNINITIALIZED state. Is there any reason no to do
that after it entered the ENABLED state? (Or even, AP-ENABLED, if that
isn't the same thing)

This is useful if one wants to configure e.g. systemd to trigger a
sequence like (rfkill-unblock ->) hostapd -> rfkill-block, so that
he/she can turn on the AP later by just doing rfkill unblock. (One can
now easily turn it off with just rfkill block, given that hostapd has
successfully enabled the AP.)
